Looking up the use of create_resources which is mentioned in the bug
you linked, looks like it's available only in 2.7.x. I'm currently
running 2.6.9, but may be worth upgrading for.
I tried you suggestion, but get this error...
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: Invalid tag "dump_dir/backups/redmine-
sqldumpsdatabasesredminebackup_dir/var/www/rails/redmine" at /etc/
puppet/modules/backuppc/manifests/definitions/sqldump.pp:11 on
node ...
Also I am not sure what you mean by "functions that get an array of
first level hash keys".
Thanks
